WHAT DB. FATES FOUND AMONG THE ICEBERGS —
CURIOUS CREATURES—THE ESQUI
MAUX GOD AND DEVIL.
Dr. Hayes, the great Arctic explorer, has
been lecturing on what he knows about those
cold regions, and gives some of the facts, as
follows : In 1863 he lint sailed into the frozen
regions of the north, returning, after an ab
sence of two and a half years, without any
great meed of success. Dr. Kane subsequently
made an effort to penetrate to the open polar
sea. He failed, but some of his party trav
eled over the ice on aleighs, and say they saw
it. Following in the footsteps of Dr. Kane,
Dr. Hayes, in 1860, led another expedition
toward the north pole, passed a winter
where Kane had stopped before, and
in 1861 looked out upon the open
Polar Sea from the most noteworthy
point yet reached by any explorer, “unless,"
added the lecturer, “Captain Hall has picked
up the little flag I planted there, and borne it
onward to the North Pole, as I sincerely hope
be has.” (Applause.) Dr. Hayes next
sketched the progress of civilization in Green
land, Iceland, Denmark, and other portions
of Northern Europe, where the godly King
Otaf had worked braveh in the cause of
religion, Christianizing all beneath his sway
by the simple operation of decapiting the
heathen. A race of pigmies. “The men of
the Arctic regions,” said Dr. Hayes, “stand
for the most part about four and a half feet
in height, end in color closely re
semble an unwashed North American
Indian. Their dress is composed of
bear and seal skins. There is little dif
ference between the costume of the
sexes, but the head-dre3s of the women
is sufficiently striking to distinguish them
from the men. The hair is twisted op on the
top of the head in the form of a horn, several
inches in length, its size being enhanced by
the judicious interlacing with it of several
strips of seal skin, which also serve to keep
it in its place. Though the ladies of nations
less far north resort to artifices somewhat sim
ilar, they can not be said to be equally suc
cessful, for their sisters of the Arctic regions,
having once done up their hair do not find it
necessary to touch it again for several months,
until, in fact, the interlaced seal skin falls to
pieces from the decay, and the carefully built
cone tumbles at last. A plurality of wives is
almost invariably indulged in, and little
jealously is manifested by the fair sex. The
lecturer related an instance of a man who
came under his observation who had three
wives. These women were perfectly content
except in one particular—they considered it
no small grievance that their husband obsti
nately refused to take a fourth wife and
thus lighten the household labors of the other
three. In this interesting family there bad
originally been seven ohildren. Two had
died from causes incidental|to 4 childhood, and
a third having been born with a clubbed
foot, the father mournfully informed Dr.
Hayes that he thought it best to place it in a
hole in the snow and cover it up.
THE ESQUIMAUX* DEVIL AND GOD.
The ideas of a supreme being and thoughts
regarding a future existence entertained by
these people are very peculiar. Their God
is enthroned on a rock, with his head pierc
ing the heavens, on a green island, and over
looks all the world—that is, all that is worth
overlooking—the land of the Esquimaux. On
this island are the steps leading to Paradise,
and on each of these are dishes containing
food varying in quality in proportion to the
height of the step on which they are placed.
To this island the spirits of the good Esqui
maux are transplanted, aud deposited accord
ing to their degree of merit on the steps of
the rock, where they regale themselves j
through all eternity on the food contained in !
the dishes. I

fish from rising to the surface, and thus cre
ating a famine. The most curious ceremony
known to the Esquimaux is, perhaps, that of
marriage. It is done thus: when a boy kills
a polar bear it is considered sufficient proof
of his ability to maintain a family; he is
therefore told “to go and catch a wife.”
Watching his opportunity at night time, he
pounces upon a victim and at; - mpts to carry
her off; she, however, struggle* and shrieks
until she has collected around her a group of
sympathizers. She then turns upon her
captor, and bites and scratches him
until he is compelled to release her ; then
she darts into the crowd and attempts
to escape; he follows, but not unmo
lested. Ail the old women take scourges of
dried seal-6kin and flagellate him immerci-
fully as he passes, making at the name time
every effort to arrest his coarse. If, despite
these little impediments to matrimonial bliss,
he should catch his victim, the biting and
scratching is renewed, and in all probability
he is again compelled to release her, and the
chase, with its attendant discomforts, is re
sumed. Should he overcome all obstacles,
the third capture usually proves effectual, and
the victim, ceasing her struggles, is led away
amid the acclamations and rejoicings of the f pjcKENS

Spalding County. Ga., April 15, 1873.
Tbe undersigned have seen the “ Brinley Shaft Plow ” at work for two days, bedding for cotton, working in
j corn and cotton, aud have worked it ourselves, and we express our entire satisfaction with it iu every way. It
j makes an elegant bed at every trip, and thoroughly pulverizes the land at the aame time. After bed
ding, we plowed down the bed on the water furrow—the place for guano, reversing the bed and covering the
! guano at the same time. In corn planted in six feet rows, one round cleared the row, and left the land in splen
did order, which would have required live furrows with a single plow, thus saving over one-half the labor, and
I doing the work equally as well, if not better. Cotton rows from three to three and a half feet, were cleared a:
one furrow, which would have required two furrows with auy other plow. As a cultivator it surpasses any
thing we ever saw, and for bedding lands after being broken, it cannot be surpassed, as it does the work of
three men aud mule*. We cheerfully give it our fullest endorsement and recommendation, as tbe greatest la
bor-saving agricultural implement that has ever been ou our farms, or in this country. The draft of the plough
is as light as a Dixon Sweep on a single stock—a medium mule carrying it with ease.

land of S. B. Burr, this day, and do not hesitate to say that it is good for all claimed for it. It broke and bed
ded cotton land aa well, if not better, than one horse and hand could do, making a complete bed at one haul.
It ia equal to three hands and three mule*, and is easily worked by one mule or one horse. We consider it a
great labor-saver, and unhesitatingly recommend it, and will use it ourselves as soon as they can be procured.

Prices at the Vienna Exhibi
tion.
iu on the Vienna Exposition during a sum
mer jaunt, on the other side, had better see
that their pocket-books are in a plethoric
condition.
A special correspondent of the New York
Tribune writes as follows, as to prices;
A single, diminutive bedroom in the fourth
story is now $1 25 per day, and will be $2 or
more next week. Lodgings are not to be bad
except for the whole Bix months, at prices still
ranging trom $40 for a single room to $500
for three, or $1,000 for a large suite, and
rooms are with difficulty to be got at any of
the better hotels. The Exhibition managers
seem to have the same fever, for not only have
they compelled all exhibitors to pay a large
price per sqnare foot for their space, but the
restrictions on admission are to the last degree
illiberal. Twenty-five florins (about $121
must be Paid for entry at tbe opening cere*
mony, $25 for a lady’s season ticket, and $50
for a gentleman's, while every person em
ployed by tbe restaurant keepers and exhibit
ors must pay a monthly tax of six florins.
All this may make Vienna rich, but I am in
clined to think the Viennese are going to kill
the goose that lays their golden eggs. The
common people catch up tbe spirit of the day
and charge the most absurd prices for every
thing—washing at the rate of 20 cents for a
shirt.

Dear Sir—Iu reply to yonr inquiry, I would
state that iny opinion of PETERS' EUREKA
TANNING PROCESS may he inferred from
the fact that X am now wearing a pair of
boots, the leather of which was tanned by
that process before the same was perfected
and a patent obtained; that the said boots
have now been in wear for the period of three
years—are the most pliable and easy to the
feet of any boot I ever wore, and are in a
good state of preservation yet.
